#Pink's Valentine's Day

4:32:00 PM

Happy (Belated) Valentine’s
Day, everyone!!!

How was your Valentine? Romantic
and full of rose petals? Hihiihihi… I wanted to write this entry yesterday
night, right on Valentine’s Day after we got home from our V Day date but hunny
lured me with Family Outing old videos on You Tube (unlike most girls-teenage
or not-who are crazy about Korean pretty boys who are even prettier than the
girls, I find myself much more attracted to Kim Jong Kook Oppa from Running
Man. Big, cute in a quirky way, have a nice voice, smart and manly. I’ll take
Sparta Kook any day, no flower boys for me please :p. So anything with Jong
Kook Oppa in it I’d be easily lured) and we ended up watching it until 2 AM
-___-. No wonder I’m so tired and sleepy today zzz…

I know I still got my Chinese New
Year entry to upload but I cannot resist writing about my Valentine’s Day first
:p. I had a pretty great Valentine’s Day, although speckled with some mild
annoyance with hunny (seriously, he likes to annoy me on certain big days I have
no idea why, he’s typically quite normal on daily basis, but comes celebratory
days he’d throw in every excuse for me to be annoyed, haish… But I guess that’s
why I love him, at least he doesn’t bore me *LOL*), but still a great day for
me.

We spent previous Valentine’s Days
(definitely more than 10 times already since we’ve been together for almost 12
years now, yes 12!) having fancy dinners on fancy restaurants and hotels, but
this year all of the restaurants and hotels jacked up their prices like crazy!
It’s so weird because I notice the buzz of V Day’s much quiter nowadays, it was
on its peak like seven years ago? Nowadays it’s not so crazy. Last year we
still went to a fancy restaurant and it was expensive enough (I am kinda stingy
when it comes to food, why should we pay a fortune for them? I don’t understand
fine dining anyway, I don’t think they taste better than normal restaurants
ones and their portions are simply pitiful for me *pig*) for me be all WTF, but
this year’s even worse. They jacked the prices up twice from last year’s!

Since hunny is essentially a
romantic at heart, he wanted to take me to one of those crazy expensive
restaurants, but I put my foot down this time. I said NOOOO hunny no, we can
always go anytime else right??? I mean, one of the restaurant (initial : PG)’s
normal set menu start from IDR 250.000 and on Valentine’s Day it’s IDR
2.500.000. WTF. My flight ticket to Taiwan costed me IDR 2.500.000 okay? I’m
not paying (or my hunny but whatever, his money is my money since we got
married right) a plane ticket’s worth on a single dinner for two, no way jose!

So I propose a perfect (for me)
Valentine’s date instead. What’s a perfect Valentine’s date for me? A horror
movie followed by an intimate dinner. Horror? Oh yes, you heard me perfectly
LOLOL, it’s the perfect type of Valentine movie date for me *grin widely*. I
was extremely tempted to name this entry “Bloody Valentine” since it consists
of my gory movie date and errr… something else (bloody as in I’m having my
period. ROFL!!! Sorry sorry I cannot stop myself) but #Undecided forbade me to
*sigh*.

My Valentine started from 12 PM
the day before, yeah as I said, my hunny’s a romantic at heart (which I trampled
all over because I cannot really stand too much romanticism *cold hearted*),
waited for the clock to struck midnight and then gave me a kiss and told me “Happy
Valentine’s Day, honey!” Awww.. isn’t he sweet? Heheh.

I always make an effort to look
extra pretty on Valentine’s Day, a treat for hunny because on usual dates I kinda
errr… neglect the making effort part *LOL*. Seriously, I dress up and put on
make up only whenever we go out on weekends or when we’re going out with other
friends :p. I keep make up to a minimal whenever we go on a weekday date
(because we cannot leave Baby Boy on weekends nowadays, he’d be mad :p).

And yes, I know we’ve been
married for almost six years now, and yes we still go on regular dates and
celebrate Valentine’s Day, why not? It keeps the sparks alive and you’d be
reminded that you’re a couple, a romantically linked couple, not only parents.
(I see many crumbling marriages when couples started to neglect their own
relationship and focus solely on the kids, I’m not saying you should not put
your kids first, but i believe your relationship with your spouse is as
important).

I won’t go into details on the
make up and stuffs, I’ll write another entry on that alone *I know how I tend
to go on and on about details and I don’t want this be novel-long so I decided
to make a separate entry about the look alone :p*.

As my moniker in this blog
stated, I’m a Pinkaholic through and through, so I obviously cannot pass the
opportunity to deck myself in all things Pink and girly, this is the style that
screams “ME”. Yes, the dress, accessories, and bag’s all brand new :p, at least
my shoes (not in the pictures)-which are crème lace patterned jelly shoes-aren’t!

We went to Ciputra World Mall for
the Valentine’s Day date (left Baby Boy at home with his grandparents, in case
you’re wondering), went to the cinema straight away because we wanted to catch
the 5 PM show of Mama.

About the movie.. I was really
anticipating this movie okay, ever since I’ve seen the trailer for the first
time, it seemed to be very creepy and eery. But the movie itself? Meh. Only one
scene’s kinda scary for me zzzz. It’s not horrible, the story itself is not too
bad, but really, it’s nowhere near scary for me. Hunny said the ghost’s too
exhibitionist and kept on showing up so it’s no longer scary. And the ghost
herself is not scary looking lah, I think she looked fugly and retarded but
that’s all LOL. It’s not scary at all lahhhh *arghhhhh*.

To think that #Undecided’s hubby
flat rejected my invitation to watch the movie together because he’s scared,
hayaahhh what’s there to be scared about??? LOL. I prefer horror movies when
you never knew when the ghost’s gonna jump out or even when you knew it’s going
to but they still manage to surprise and startle you. This one… haish, you know
whenever it’ll come and it has a very ridiculous way to show up anyway LOL
*floating hair on the floor swimming towards you? WTF indeed*. So, no, the
movie’s a real disappointment to me LOL.

Not to mention I was getting
annoyed at hunny during the movie (I won’t write the cause because it’s kinda
sensitive and family related LOL), usually even if I got annoyed at him during
a movie (yeah, it happened before) if the movie’s good I’d forget the annoyance
soon enough to be engrossed back in the movie (and resume my annoyance once the
movie finished. Yes, really) but not this time. I kept getting more and more
annoyed (maybe because the ghost’s also kinda annoying? Haha) LOL.

After the movie (which ended with
us went “huh??” LOL), it got better lah (maybe because of the good food we had
next? LOLOL, told ya, it’s easy to appease me, but isn’t it better not to annoy
me in the first place, dear hunny?). We went around the mall a little bit
because hunny kept on telling me to choose something for my Valentine gift (he
wanted to buy me a gold necklace but I said NO because we need lots of money
for upcoming trips, we have three overseas trips planned so far for 2013 and I prefer
to use the money to shop on those trips LOL, I told him he can buy me the
necklace after we got back from our first oversea trip :P) but I honestly
couldn’t find anything that I want. I’ve been on a saving mode for a bit (just
recently LOL) once the price for the Europe tour’s came out and I don’t feel like
splurging (much).

And actually earlier that day
hunny brought home three packages (from Sasa, Chic Princessa and clothing
online shop :p) filled with pretty dresses and beauty goodies so it really felt
like I’ve received my Valentine’s Day present anyway (and yeah, hunny paid for
all of them :p).

My fugly bunch of "Valentine pressie" :p

I’m still waiting for one more
package from A’s little sister online ship *grin even widely* consists of two
fashion bags and a legging hihihihi, so more Valentine’s gift coming my way
LOLOL. I’m not gonna show you what’s inside my packages, you must wait until
its turn to appear on my Haul post :p, still a long way to go hahaha (so many
haul posts’ waiting for its turn now).

We decided to have dinner at Wagyu Smith (it has
a branch in CW), one of my favorite steak house at the moment.

I’m loving the lighting in this
place, somehow the lighting made my photo(me, not hunny LOL)looked slightly
anime-ish LOL.

Grumpy anime girl :p

It was crowded (lots of couples
too, I guess plenty of people thinks ridiculous prices in fancy restaurant’s a no
go as well? LOL, really plenty leh, the mall was super crowded with Valentine
celebrating couples, even toting flowers and all), I was embarrassed to flip
out my camera at first but then I notice another couple who openly kept on
taking each other pictures using Ipad LOL, i immediately forgot my shyness and
kept on asking hunny to take pictures of me :p.

Hunny with his US tenderloin

Momentarily distracted by my matching nails and bag

OMG! Why do i look like a very naughty little girl here???

I really wanted a picture of the
two of us too, but again I was too shy to ask the waiters/waitresses to take
our picture until some other couple did, then I egged hunny to call on the
waitress to take ours. Hunny said wait, we asked for the bill and then ask the
one who brought the bill to take our pictures, but when he did guess what… one
of the owner (a very pretty (I mean cute) young guy with a very muscled body, I
was super distracted during the dinner because I found his head to be
unsuitable for his body, he’s too pretty to have such a stocky body LOLOL) and
we were silenced at once LOL. But in the end hunny managed to summon a waitress
and yesss, I got the picture I wanted LOL.

Looking forward to many many more Valentine's day with you, hunny

The steak’s great as usual (I’m
much more into American steaks than Italian versions, last year I really didn’t
like my super expensive steak at an Italian fine dining resto *forlorn*) so my
mood is instantly lifted :p (even though hunny commented it was the cheapest
Valentine dinner ever, not the price that mattered right?). We went around a
little bit more before going home, it was a very nice date in total :D. Understated
and intimate, and more “us” than a pretentious candle lit dinner where we
usually gossiped about other couples around us instead LOL. Not to say I won’t enjoy
a nice candle lit dinner once in a while because I’d be lying then, but I really
did enjoy this year’s Valentine’s Day date. I hope next year there’d be a
better scary movie showing (or at least a rom-com or romance movie lah) hahaha.

Oh, funny story about the flowers
you saw earlier in the post! I’m not much of a flower kind of girl, I usually
forbade hunny to buy me flowers because I don’t care much about them (but I don’t
mind receiving like a stalk of rose once in a while, not a whole bunch. I think
it’s a waste of money) but he always bought me some anyway, this year he asked
his employee to buy a bouquet of LIVE roses (always live ones please) but she
bought me… fake, platic flowers -____-.

I was already informed by hunny
about the roses *and no, the fake roses’ not the reason I got annoyed at him, I’m
not that petty lah* but I was still taken aback when he handed me a black
plastic bag with these roses inside them FML -____-.

Hayah, I guess the thought that counts ya LOL,
and I guess I can use the fake flowers as a prop to take “romantic” style of
pictures? LOL. Now if only I know how to edit my pictures *must learn* :p
(yeah, all f the pictures you see in this blog is raw, the most I can do I crop
them and hit the autocorrect button
once in a while FML) hahaha.

Me-looking grumpy-with my fake flowers bouquet

One more

Anyway, that’s how my Valentine’s
Day went, not the most romantic date ever but it was perfect for me LOL, how
was yours?
